| • Boiler Operator and Stationary Engineer Registration
Recent amendments to the boiler law require the State of Michigan to develop a program for the evaluation and registration of boiler operators and stationary engineers. It is important to note that registration is NOT MANDATORY on the part of a boiler operator or stationary engineer. The State of Michigan is in the process of establishing rules designating the course content for qualified technical education programs. Once rules are established, a notice will be provided on the bureau's web site announcing the acceptance of applications for registration.
| • Boiler Licensing for a Residence
Recent amendments to the boiler law have resulted in a long awaited change. The boiler law no longer regulates licensing of individuals who install or repair boilers in a private residence or apartment building with less than 6 families. By default, the licensing of individuals doing boiler installation or repairs in these locations falls to the State of Michigan Mechanical Division. You may refer to the Forbes Mechanical Contractors Act, section 338.977 Sec.7.(1) of PA 1992 of 1984, by linking below.
